In October 2010, NRDC partnered with StoryCorps and Bridge the Gulf to record, share, and preserve the stories and experiences of those living through the BP oil disaster. We invite you to listen to this diverse range of voices-many not traditionally heard in the mainstream media-and to share them with your families and friends. Together we can help ensure that neither the stories of this disaster nor the lessons we can learn from it are lost.

The thoughts and opinions expressed in these interviews are those of Gulf residents and not necessarily representative of NRDC.
